latex-cjk-thai depends on thailatex because of the .pfb Type1 and
Adobe Font Metrics, but it provides its own TFM files, because the
ligatures that CJK uses are incompatible with those of thailatex.
They are named differently (in CJK: fgdb8z, ftnb8z, etc., according to
Karl Berry's `fontname' scheme).
thailatex and CJK can coexist, because the Babel name of thailatex is
"thai", while that of CJK is "thaicjk".

Chanop was in the middle of writing a thesis a few months ago and was
very busy. I don't know about now though. I too am a bit concerned
about the piling up of bugs in fontforge and thailatex.
